Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolid ated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Business Description

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation formed on October 18, 2007, that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the Corporation’s operating company, or the “OP”), is the entity through which the Corporation conducts its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of the Corporation’s properties. The Corporation is the sole managing member of the OP. The membership units not owned by the Corporation are referred to as OP Units and are recorded as non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As the Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through the OP, it is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). The Corporation’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BNL.” The Corporation, the OP, and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

The Company is an industrial-focused, diversified net lease REIT that focuses on investing in income-producing, single-tenant net leased commercial properties, primarily in the United States. The Company leases industrial, restaurant, retail, healthcare, and office commercial properties under long-term lease agreements. At September 30, 2024, the Company owned a diversified portfolio of 773 individual commercial properties with 766 properties located in 44 U.S. states and seven properties located in four Canadian provinces.

The following table summarizes the outstanding equity and economic ownership interest of the Company:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Information

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting ) and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company has omitted certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained within the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024. Therefore, the readers of this quarterly report should refer to those audited consolidated financial statements, specifically Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , for further discussion of significant accounting policies and estimates. The Company believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (which include only normal recurring adjustments).

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the entity is evaluated to determine if it should be deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and is therefore required to consolidate the entity. The accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs is applied to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement may cause us to consider an entity a VIE. The contractual arrangements in a partnership agreement or other related contracts are reviewed to determine whether the entity is a VIE, and if the Company has variable interests in the VIE. The Company’s variable interests are then compared to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. A primary beneficiary: (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reassesses the initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain events occur, and reassesses the primary beneficiary determination of a VIE on an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances. To the extent the Company has a variable interest in entities that are not evaluated under the VIE model, the Company evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model.

The Corporation has complete responsibility for the day-to-day management of, authority to make decisions for, and control of the OP. Based on consolidation guidance, the Corporation has concluded that the OP is a VIE as the members in the OP do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Accordingly, the Corporation consolidates its interest in the OP. However, because the Corporation holds the majority voting interest in the OP and certain other conditions are met, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs.

In June 2024, the Company invested $ 52.2 million in exchange for 98.1 % ownership interest in a VIE. The Company is the primary beneficiary as it: (i) has the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits of the VIE, and therefore consolidates the VIE. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIE included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2024
Assets
Accounted for using the operating method:
Land	$	7,644
Land improvements		2,508
Buildings and improvements		38,820
Total accounted for using the operating method		48,972
Less accumulated depreciation		( 529	)
Accounted for using the operating method, net		48,443
Intangible lease assets, net		3,584
Other assets		1,739
Total assets	$	53,766

Liabilities
Intangible lease liabilities, net	$	533
Other liabilities		1,319
Total liabilities	$	1,852

From time to time, the Company acquires properties using a reverse like-kind exchange structure pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (a “reverse 1031 exchange”) and, as such, the properties are in the possession of an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”) until the reverse 1031 exchange is completed. The EAT is classified as a VIE as it is a “thinly capitalized” entity. The Company consolidates the EAT because it is the primary beneficiary as it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the EAT's economic performance and can collapse the reverse 1031 exchange structure at its discretion. The assets of the EAT primarily consist of leased property (net real estate investment in rental property and lease intangibles).

The portions of a consolidated entity not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented.

Basis of Accounting

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investment in Property Under Development

Land acquired for development and construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties are capitalized and recorded as Property under development in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until construction has been completed. Such capitalized costs include all direct and indirect costs related to planning, development, and construction, including interest, real estate taxes, and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the construction period. Once substantially complete, the property under development is placed in service and depreciation commences. The following tables summarize the Company’s investments in property under development:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Development, construction and improvement costs	$	—	$	93,501
Capitalized interest		—		1,463
Property under development	$	—	$	94,964


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Investment in properties under development, excluding capitalized costs	$	18,450	$	11,870	$	85,900	$	49,052

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and subsequent to reaching substantial completion, the Company funded an additional $ 6.2 million of capital expenditures in connection with a development property.

Forward Sale Agreements

The Company occasionally sells shares of common stock through forward sale agreements to enable the Company to lock in the gross price of such shares upon pricing the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the Company. To account for the forward sale agreements, the Company considers the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives. To date, the Company has concluded that its forward sale agreements are not liabilities as they do not embody obligations to repurchase its shares nor do they embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value is predominantly fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the shares, or varying inversely in relation to its shares. The Company then evaluates whether the agreements meet the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments. The Company has concluded that the agreements are classifiable as equity contracts based on the following assessments: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies are based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for the Company’s own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions preclude the agreements from being indexed to its own stock. The Company also considers the potential dilution resulting from the forward sale agreements on the earnings per share calculations. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilution resulting from the forward sale agreements during the period of time prior to settlement.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Such cash flows include expected future operating income, as adjusted for trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. Significant judgment is made to determine if and when impairment should be taken. The Company’s assessment of impairment as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 was based on the most current information available to the Company. Certain of the Company’s properties may have fair values less than their carrying amounts. However, based on the Company’ s plans with respect to each of those properties, the Company believes that their carrying amounts are recoverable and therefore, no impairment charges were recognized other than those described below. If the operating conditions mentioned above deteriorate or if the Company ’s expected holding period for assets changes, subsequent tests for impairments could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Inputs used in establishing fair value for impaired real estate assets generally fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are characterized as requiring significant judgment as little or no current market activity may be available for validation. The main indicator used to establish the classification of the inputs is current market conditions, as derived through the use of published commercial real estate market information and information obtained from brokers and other third party sources. The Company determines the valuation of impaired assets using generally accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations, and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. Management may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.

The following table summarizes the Company ’s impairment charges:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except number of properties)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Number of properties		3		—		17		1
Impairment charge	$	1,059	$	—	$	31,311	$	1,473

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the Company recognized impairment of $ 1.1 million and $ 31.3 million, respectively, resulting from changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties. The 2024 impairments primarily include $ 18.1 million on two healthcare properties which was based on expected sales prices of the properties, and $ 11.2 million on 11 healthcare properties sold as part of a portfolio with a gain of $ 59.1 million, excluding any impairment, which was based on actual sales prices of the individual properties.

Investments in Rental Property Held for Sale

The Company classifies investments in rental property as held for sale when all of the following criteria are met: (i) management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of investment properties, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and conduct other actions required to complete the sale has been initiated, (iv) the sale of the property is probable in occurrence and is expected to qualify as a completed sale, (v) the property is actively marketed for sale at a sale price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value, and (vi) actions required to complete the sale indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made or that the plan to sell will be withdrawn.

For properties classified as held for sale, the Company suspends depreciation and amortization of the related assets and liabilities, including the acquired in-place lease and above- or below-market lease intangibles, as well as straight-line revenue recognition of the associated lease, and records the investment in rental property at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The assets and liabilities associated with the properties classified as held for sale are presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the most recent reporting period.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had 10 properties that met the held for sale criteria described above and were therefore classified as Investments in rental property and intangible lease assets held for sale, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These properties were sold as part of a portfolio on October 2, 2024 (Note 17). At December 31, 2023 the Company did not have any properties that met the held for sale criteria.

The following table summarizes the Company’s properties classified as held for sale:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2024
Assets
Accounted for using the operating method:
Land	$	7,496
Land improvements		3,627
Buildings and improvements		35,144
Total accounted for using the operating method		46,267
Less accumulated depreciation		( 9,312	)
Accounted for using the operating method, net		36,955
Intangible lease assets, net		1,824
Investments in rental property and intangible lease assets held for sale, net	$	38,779

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash generally includes escrow funds the Company maintains pursuant to the terms of certain mortgages, lease agreements, and undistributed proceeds from the sale of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and is reported within Prepaid expenses and other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash consisted of the following:


	September 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Escrow funds and other	$	2,219	$	1,138
1031 exchange proceeds		—		—
	$	2,219	$	1,138

Rent Received in Advance

Rent received in advance represents tenant rent payments received prior to the contractual due date, and is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent received in advance consisted of the following:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Rent received in advance	$	15,323	$	14,776

Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The balances of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (see Note 9):


	September 30, 2024
(in thousands)	Total			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Interest rate swap, assets	$	27,812		$	—	$	27,812		$	—
Interest rate swap, liabilities		( 13,050	)		—		( 13,050	)		—


	December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Interest rate swap, assets	$	46,096	$	—	$	46,096	$	—

Long-term Debt – The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs based on recent secondary market trades of the Company’s 2031 Senior Unsecured Public Notes (see Note 7), recent comparable financing transactions, recent market risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”), Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates, and discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect the Company’s judgment as to the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and assumes that the debt is outstanding through maturity. Market information, as available, or present value techniques were utilized to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist on specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company ’s estimate of the fair value of the unsecured revolving credit facility, mortgages, unsecured term loans, and senior unsecured notes which reflects the fair value of interest rate swaps:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Carrying amount	$	1,952,974	$	1,919,607
Fair value		1,878,904		1,761,177

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of the fair value of impaired real estate assets that were determined using Level 3 inputs.

Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities

The Company is a lessee under non-cancelable operating leases associated with its corporate headquarters and other office spaces as well as with leases of land (“ground leases”). The Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with these leases. The lease liability is equal to the net present value of the future payments to be made under the lease, discounted using estimates based on observable market factors. The right-of-use asset is generally equal to the lease liability plus initial direct costs associated with the leases. The Company includes in the recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability those renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, based on the facts and circumstances that exist at lease inception. Amounts associated with percentage rent provisions are considered variable lease costs and are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. The Company has made an accounting policy election, applicable to all asset types, not to separate lease from nonlease components when allocating contract consideration related to operating leases.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with operating leases were included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:


		September 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	Financial Statement Presentation	2024		2023
Right-of-use assets	Prepaid expenses and other assets	$	7,243	$	8,476
Lease liabilities	Accounts payable and other liabilities		7,607		8,256

The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities primarily consist of a lease for the Company’s corporate office space, which expires in October 2033. The lease contains two five-year extension options, exercisable at the Company’s discretion, that are not reasonably certain to be exercised, and are therefore excluded from our calculation of the lease liability.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information, such as, annual and interim disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, interim disclosure of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets, and require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2024. While this update will result in enhanced disclosures, the Company does not expect it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The disclosures are applied retrospectively to all periods presented and early adoption is permitted. The Company has one reportable segment and continues to evaluate additional disclosures that may be required in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

3. Acquisitions of Rental Property

The Company closed on the following acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

The Company allocated the purchase price of these properties to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for completed real estate acquisitions:


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Land	$	56,397		$	2,461
Land improvements		13,972			2,694
Buildings and improvements		198,524			18,820
Property under development		—			20,315

	$	288,754		$	46,524

(f)

The weighted average amortization period for acquired in-place leases is 10 years and 15 years for acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.

(g)

The weighted average amortization period for acquired above-market leases is 6 years for acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. There were no above-market leases acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 .

(h)

The weighted average amortization period for acquired below-market leases is 9 years and 20 years for acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.

The above acquisitions were funded using a combination of available cash on hand and unsecured revolving credit facility borrowings. All real estate acquisitions closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , qualified as asset acquisitions and as such, acquisition costs were capitalized.

4. Sale of Real Estate

The Company closed on the following sales of real estate, none of which qualified as discontinued operations:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

Aggregate carrying value		( 28,927	)		( 45,770	)		( 238,773	)		( 131,146	)
Additional sales expenses		( 444	)		( 1,367	)		( 4,185	)		( 4,378	)
Gain on sale of real estate	$	2,441		$	15,163		$	64,956		$	48,040

5. Investment in Rental Property and Lease Arrangements

The Company generally leases its investment rental property to established tenants in the industrial, restaurant, retail, healthcare, and office property types. At September 30, 2024, the Company had 773 real estate properties, 760 of which were leased under leases that have been classified as operating leases , nine that have been classified as direct financing leases, one that has been classified as a sales-type lease, and three that were vacant. Of the nine leases classified as direct financing leases , three include land portions which are accounted for as operating leases. The sales-type lease includes a land portion which is accounted for as an operating lease. Most leases have initial terms of 10 to 20 years. The Company ’s leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), or increases in the tenant’s sales volume. Generally, tenants are also required to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building, and maintain property and liability insurance coverage. The leases also typically provide for one or more multiple-year renewal options, at the election of the tenant, and are subject to generally the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.

Investment in Rental Property – Accounted for Using the Operating Method

Depreciation expense on investment in rental property was as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Depreciation	$	30,006	$	30,630	$	89,480	$	92,776

Estimated lease payments to be received under non-cancelable operating leases with tenants at September 30, 2024 are as follows:


(in thousands)
Remainder of 2024	$	99,220
2025		401,191
2026		400,767
2027		387,320
2028		370,705
Thereafter		3,040,111
	$	4,699,314

Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the tenant, the above amounts only include future lease payments due during the initial lease terms. Such amounts exclude any potential variable rent increases that are based on changes in the CPI or future variable rents which may be received under the leases based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales. Additionally, certain of our leases provide tenants with the option to terminate their leases in exchange for termination penalties, or that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event. Future lease payments within the table above have not been adjusted for these termination rights.

Investment in Rental Property – Direct Financing Leases

The Company is subject to various financial and operational covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to its unsecured credit agreements. These covenants require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2024, and for all periods presented, the Company believes it was in compliance with all of its loan covenants. Failure to comply with the covenants would result in a default which, if the Company were unable to cure or obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate the repayment of the obligations. Further, in the event of default, the Company may be restricted from paying dividends to its stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain its REIT qualification. Accordingly, an event of default could have a material effect on the Company.

At-the-Market Program (“ATM Program”)

The Company enters into ATM Programs through which it may, from time to time, publicly offer and sell shares of common stock. The Company’s ATM Programs also provide for forward sale agreements, enabling the Company to set the price of shares upon pricing the offering, while delaying the issuance of shares and the receipt of the net proceeds. In May 2024, the Company replaced its prior $ 400.0 million ATM Program (“ 2021 ATM Program”) with a new $ 400.0 million ATM Program (“2024 ATM Program”), and the 2021 ATM Program was simultaneously terminated.

The following table presents information about the Company’s ATM Programs:


(in thousands, except shares issued amounts)
Program Year	Program Size		Aggregate Gross Sales		Shares Issued
2021 (a)	$	400,000	$	254,620		11,542,285
2024		400,000		40,003		2,187,700

(a)

ATM Program has been terminated and no future issuance will occur.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the Company entered into forward sale agreements to sell an aggregate of 2,187,700 shares of common stock under the 2024 ATM Program at a weighted-average share price of $ 18.29 , subject to certain adjustments. The Company has the option to settle the outstanding shares of common stock anytime between August and September 2025 for net proceeds of approximately $ 39.0 millio n. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has not settled any of the outstanding shares of these forward sales agreements. There was no ATM Program activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company has a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), which authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $ 150.0 million of the Company’s common stock. On March 12, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors re-authorized the Repurchase Program for a 12-month period beginning on March 14, 2024. Under the Repurchase Program, repurchases of the Company’s stock can be made in the open market or through private transactions from time to time over the 12-month period, depending on prevailing market conditions and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases of common stock under the Repurchase Program will be determined at the Company’s discretion, using available cash resources. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , no shares of the Company’s common stock were repurchased under the Repurchase Program.

13. Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Awards

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the Company awarded 564 and 833,571 shares of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), respectively, to officers, employees, and non-employee directors under the Company ’s equity incentive plan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 , the Company awarded 116 and 309,746 shares of RSAs, respectively, to officers, employees, and non-employee directors under the Company ’ s equity incentive plan. The holder of RSAs is generally entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the restricted common shares to exercise the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends on the shares. The RSAs vest over a one -, three -, four -, or five-year period from the date of the grant and are subject to the holder ’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates and in accordance with the terms of the individual award agreements. The weighted average value of awards granted per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 , were $ 17.41 and $ 14.77 , respectively, which were based on the market price per share of the Company ’s common stock on the grant dates. The weighted average value of awards granted per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 , were $ 16.52 and $ 17.52 , respectively.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the Company issued target grants of 202,308 of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), under the Company ’s equity incentive plan to the officers of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 , the Company issued target grants of 186,481 of PRSUs. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , there were no PRSUs issued. The awards are non-vested restricted stock units where the vesting percentages and the ultimate number of units vesting will be measured 50 % based on the relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) of the Company ’ s common stock as compared to the rTSR of peer companies, as identified in the grant agreements, over a three-year period, and 50 % based on the rTSR of the Company ’ s common stock as compared to the rTSR of the MSCI US REIT Index over a three year measurement period. Vesting percentages range from 0 % to 200 % with a target of 100 %. rTSR means the percentage appreciation in the fair market value of one share over the three-year measurement period beginning on the date of grant, assuming the reinvestment of dividends on the ex-dividend date. The target number of units is based on achieving a rTSR equal to the 55 th percentile of the peer companies and MSCI US REIT Index. For PRSUs issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that achieve a percentile rank of at least the 55 th percentile, and the absolute rTSR of the Company is negative for the performance period, the awards will be reduced by 25 %, not to result in a reduction less than target. Dividends accrue during the measurement period and will be paid on the PRSUs ultimately earned at the end of the measurement period in either cash or common stock, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on assumptions including share price volatility.

The following table presents compensation cost recognized on the Company ’s performance-based restricted stock units:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Compensation cost	$	604	$	613	$	1,763	$	1,371

As of September 30, 2024 , there was $ 4.5 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to the unvested PRSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

15. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures

Cash paid for interest was $ 51.2 million and $ 54.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was $ 0.2 million and $ 0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following are non-cash transactions and have been excluded from the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

•

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the Company converted 173,034 OP Units valued at $ 2.8 million to 173,204 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 , the Company converted 921,853 OP Units valued at $ 15.3 million to 921,853 shares of common stock.

•

•

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the Company reclassified $ 184.7 million from Property under development to Buildings and improvements upon the substantial completion of a development property.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Property and Acquisition Related

In connection with ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance, liability, claim, or other environmental condition that would have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has a commitment to fund one build-to-suit transaction with remaining obligations of $ 18.9 million expected to fund in multiple draws through November 2024, using a combination of available cash on hand and unsecured revolving credit facility borrowings. Rent on this property commenced in September 2024 when the property reached substantial completion and was made available for use by the tenant.

The Company is a party to two separate tax protection agreements with the contributing members of two distinct UPREIT transactions and a third tax protection agreement entered into in connection with the Company’s internalization. The tax protection agreements require the Company to indemnify the beneficiaries in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property, and in the case of the tax protection agreement entered into in connection with the Company’s internalization, the entire Company, in a taxable transaction that would cause such beneficiaries to recognize a gain that is protected under the agreements, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is required to allocate an amount of nonrecourse liabilities to each beneficiary that is at least equal to the minimum liability amount, as contained in the agreements. The minimum liability amount and the associated allocation of nonrecourse liabilities are calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations, are completed at the OP level, and are not probable. Therefore, there is no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on values as of September 30, 2024 , taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the agreements of approximately $ 20.4 million. Based on information available, the Company does not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties. These commitments are generally subject to the Company’ s customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before the Company is obligated to purchase the properties.

17. Subsequent Events

On October 15, 2024, the Company paid distributions totaling $ 57.2 million.

On October 24, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $ 0.29 per share on the Company ’ s common stock and OP Units for the fourth quarter of 2024, which will be payable on or before January 15, 2025 to stockholders and OP unitholders of record as of December 31, 2024 .

Subsequent to September 30, 2024 , the Company paid down $ 60.5 million, and borrowed $ 59.0 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to fund investment activity and for general corporate purposes.

Subsequent to September 30, 2024 , the Company assumed two ground leases for land to be developed in connection with separate build-to-suit transactions expected to fund in multiple draws through December 2025 and April 2026 for total development funding of approximately $ 114.1 million.

Subsequent to September 30, 2024 , the Company sold 10 properties with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $ 40.3 million for total proceeds of $ 49.5 million. The Company incurred additional expenses related to the sales of approximately $ 1.1 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of approximately $ 8.1 million.

“cash capitalization rate” represents either (1) for acquisitions and new developments, the estimated first year cash yield to be generated on a real estate investment, which was estimated at the time of investment based on the contractually specified cash base rent for the first full year after the date of the investment, divided by the purchase price for the property excluding capitalized acquisitions costs, or (2) for dispositions, the estimated first year cash yield to be generated subsequent to disposition based on a property’s ABR in effect immediately prior to the disposition, divided by the disposition price, or (3) for transitional capital, the contractual cash yield to be generated on total invested capital;

•

“CPI” means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U): U.S. City Average, All Items, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, or other similar index which is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services;

Overv iew

We are an industrial-focused, diversified net lease real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in primarily single-tenant commercial real estate properties that are net leased on a long-term basis to a diversified group of tenants. As of September 30, 2024, our portfolio includes 773 properties, with 766 properties located in 44 U.S. states and seven properties located in four Canadian provinces.

We focus on investing in real estate that is operated by creditworthy single tenants in industries characterized by positive business drivers and trends. We target properties that are an integral part of the tenants’ businesses and are therefore opportunities to secure long-term net leases through which our tenants are able to retain operational control of their strategically important locations, while allocating their debt and equity capital to fund core business operations rather than real estate ownership.

Diversified Investment Strategy . We invest in real estate through property acquisitions, revenue generating capital expenditures, development funding opportunities, and transitional capital. Our investments in these alternatives fluctuate from time to time with macroeconomic conditions and business or market trends. Our strong relationships with brokers, developers, and tenants provides access to value-add, off-market and marketed investment opportunities. Off-market transactions are characterized by a lack of a formal marketing process and a lack of widely disseminated marketing materials. Marketed transactions are often characterized by extensive buyer competition. For all investments, we seek to maintain our portfolio’s diversification by property type, geography, tenant, and industry in an effort to reduce fluctuations in income caused by under-performing individual real estate assets or adverse economic conditions affecting an entire industry or geographic region.

Diversified Portfolio . As of September 30, 2024, our portfolio comprised approximately 39.7 million rentable square feet of operational space, was highly diversified based on property type, geography, tenant, and industry, and was cross-diversified within each ( e.g., property-type diversification within a geographic concentration):

•

Property Type: We are diversified across industrial, restaurant, healthcare, retail, and office property types. Within these sectors, we have meaningful concentrations in manufacturing, distribution and warehouse, food processing, general merchandise, casual dining, and quick service restaurants.

•

Geographic Diversification : Our properties are located in 44 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces, with no single geographic concentration exceeding 9.5% of our ABR.

•

Tenant and Industry Diversification : Our properties are occupied by 203 different commercial tenants who operate 191 different brands that are diversified across 55 differing industries, with no single tenant accounting for more than 4.0% of our ABR.

Strong In-Place Leases with Significant Remaining Lease Term . As of September 30, 2024, our portfolio was approximately 99.0% leased with an ABR weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 10.3 years, excluding renewal options.

Standard Contractual Base Rent Escalation . Approximately 97.4% of our leases have contractual rent escalations, with an ABR weighted average minimum increase of 2.0%.

Extensive Tenant Financial Reporting . Approximately 94.0% of our tenants, based on ABR, provide financial reporting, of which 85.4% are required to provide us with specified financial information on a periodic basis, and an additional 8.6% of our tenants report financial statements publicly, either through SEC filings or otherwise.

Current Macroeconomic Conditions and Strategic Priorities

Over the last two fiscal years, challenging macroeconomic conditions directly impacted the broader commercial real estate market and, in particular, the net lease real estate market. During the latter half of fiscal 2022, interest rates began to rise steadily and persisted through fiscal 2023, resulting in a challenging lending environment and a material increase in the cost of capital for commercial real estate buyers and lenders. The increase in interest rates accelerated at a more aggressive pace than commercial real estate capitalization rates, thereby compressing earnings on new investments. More recently, market expectations about expansionary monetary policy resulted in net lease real estate sellers maintaining higher pricing expectations, which ultimately led to a significant decrease in transaction volumes during the latter half of 2023 and into 2024. These challenging macroeconomic conditions have limited and may continue to limit the ability of commercial real estate owners, including us, to complete real estate acquisitions at volume and accretion levels consistent with prior years, resulting in lower earnings growth rates compared to historical periods.

Notwithstanding the challenging macroeconomic conditions, we believe that our portfolio performance and strong liquidity profile position our Company well for future opportunities. We expect to achieve growth in revenues and earnings through our four building blocks, including best-in-class portfolio rent escalations, revenue generating capital expenditures with existing tenants as a benefit from our industrial focus, development funding opportunities provided by the distressed lending environment, and a diversified acquisition pipeline. In addition, on February 21, 2024, we announced the strategic decision to sell our clinically-oriented healthcare properties as part of our healthcare portfolio simplification strategy with the near-term goal of reducing our healthcare ABR below 10%. Our decision to sell these assets was in part due to our review of our investment pipeline and expectation that we would fully redeploy the proceeds into our core investment verticals of industrial, retail, and restaurant assets without diluting our per share results. Through September 30, 2024, we have sold 43 healthcare properties for gross proceeds of $289.5 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, we sold an additional 10 healthcare properties for gross proceeds of $49.5 million, thereby completing nearly all planned healthcare dispositions for 2024 and reducing our healthcare ABR to less than 10%. We have successfully redeployed all sale proceeds from our healthcare portfolio simplification strategy and expect to employ a deliberate and methodical approach to repositioning our remaining clinically-oriented healthcare properties in order to enhance and preserve the value of those assets.

As a result of actual and planned sales from our healthcare portfolio simplification strategy, we have recognized a $72.5 million gain on sale of real estate and incurred $60.1 million of impairment charges through the date of this filing. Outside of gains on sale of real estate and impairments, we do not expect our healthcare portfolio simplification strategy to materially impact our results of operations or financial position.

Substantially all of our leases provide for periodic contractual rent escalations. As of September 30, 2024, leases contributing 97.4% of our ABR provided for increases in future ABR, generally ranging from 1.5% to 3.0% annually, with an ABR weighted average annual minimum increase equal to 2.0% of base rent. Generally, our rent escalators increase rent on specified dates by a fixed percentage. Our escalations provide us with a source of organic revenue growth and a measure of inflation protection. Additional information on lease escalation frequency and weighted average annual escalation rates as of September 30, 2024 is displayed below:


Lease Escalation Frequency	% of ABR			Weighted Average Annual Minimum Increase (a)
Annually		79.4	%		2.1	%
Every 2 years		0.1	%		1.8	%

Other escalation frequencies		6.4	%		1.5	%
Flat (b)		2.6	%		—
Total/ABR Weighted Average		100.0	%		2.0	%

(a)

Represents the ABR weighted average annual minimum increase of the entire portfolio as if all escalations occurred annually. For leases where rent escalates by the greater of a stated fixed percentage or the change in CPI, we have assumed an escalation equal to the stated fixed percentage in the lease. As of September 30, 2024, leases contributing 4.8% of our ABR provide for rent increases equal to the lesser of a stated fixed percentage or the change in CPI. As any future increase in CPI is unknowable at this time, we have not included an increase in the rent pursuant to these leases in the weighted average annual minimum increase presented.

(b)

Generally associated with investment grade retail tenants.

The escalation provisions of our leases (by percentage of ABR) as of September 30, 2024, are displayed in the following chart:

Transitional Capital

In addition to investing in new property acquisitions, revenue generating capital expenditures, and development fundings, we may, from time to time, invest in transitional capital opportunities, including preferred equity interests and real estate lending opportunities. Such investments are intended to be shorter in duration, capitalizing on the distressed lending environment.

The following table presents our transitional capital investments at September 30, 2024:

Total Lease revenues, net	$	108,397		$	105,907		$	2,490			2.4		%

The increase in Lease revenues, net, was primarily attributable to an increase in Other income from real estate transactions related to the settlement of a permanent land easement for an insignificant portion of two of our properties, an increase in reimbursable expenses, with a corresponding offset in Property and operating expenses, and an increase in contractual rent growth in our portfolio. Income from permanent land easements is infrequent in nature and not related to our core real estate operations.

Property and operating expense

The increase in property and operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was due to an increase in non-reimbursable property expenses related to a decrease in occupancy, along with an increase in reimbursable expenses that have a corresponding offset in Lease revenues, net.

General and administrative

The decrease in general and administrative was primarily due to a decrease in non-capitalized legal transaction costs related to our transitional capital investment transacted during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and a decrease in compensation expense resulting from an employee departure.

Provision for impairment of investment in rental properties

The amount of impairment recognized varies quarter-to-quarter based on individual facts and circumstances during the quarter. The following table presents the impairment charges for the respective periods:


	For the Three Months Ended
	September 30,		June 30,
(in thousands, except number of properties)	2024		2024
Number of properties		3		2
Carrying value prior to impairment charge	$	12,529	$	14,850
Fair value		11,470		10,998
Impairment charge	$	1,059	$	3,852

The $1.1 million impairment charges during the third quarter of 2024 resulted from changes in our long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties. The impairments during the second and third quarters of 2024 primarily related to our strategic decision to sell our clinically-oriented healthcare properties as part of our healthcare portfolio simplification strategy. The timing and amount of impairment fluctuates from period to period depending on the specific facts and circumstances.

Other income (expenses)		(942	)		748			(1,690	)	< (100.0)			%

Other income (expenses)

The decrease in other income (expense) is due to the fluctuation of realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, there was a $0.9 million foreign exchange loss compared to a $0.7 million foreign exchange gain during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Net income	$	37,268	$	35,937	$	1,331		3.7	%
Net earnings per diluted share		0.19		0.19		—		—	%

The increase in net income is primarily attributable to a $2.8 million decrease in the provision for impairment of investment in rental properties, a $2.5 million increase in lease revenues, net, and a $1.2 million decrease in general and administrative expenses. This was partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in property and operating expenses and a $1.7 million decrease in other income (expenses).

GAAP net income includes items such as gain or loss on sale of real estate and provisions for impairment, among others, which can vary from quarter to quarter and impact period-over-period comparisons.

The decrease in Lease revenues, net was primarily attributable to a decrease in lease termination income (Other income from real estate transactions). Lease termination income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $7.5 million. There was no lease termination income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, the decrease was due to a $5.9 million decrease in the amount of GAAP revenues recorded on a straight-line basis due to timing difference from first and second quarter dispositions and redeployment of those proceeds in the second and third quarter, an increase in write-off of accrued rental income of $2.5 million, an increase in adjustment to revenue recognized for uncollectible rental amounts of $3.4 million, and a decrease in contractual rental amounts billed of $1.0 million.

Depreciation and amortization

The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to timing of dispositions during the first and second quarter of 2024 and the timing of redeployment into new properties during the second and third quarter of 2024.

Property and operating expense

The increase in property and operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in non-reimbursable expenses related to a decrease in occupancy.

General and administrative

The decrease in general and administrative for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in severance and employee transition costs, compensation costs, and insurance premiums.

Provision for impairment of investment in rental properties

The following table presents the impairment charges for the respective periods:


	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
(in thousands, except number of properties)	2024		2023

Fair value		79,992		2,763
Impairment charge	$	31,311	$	1,473

The $31.3 million impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted from changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties and were primarily based on actual and expected sales prices. Such impairments primarily related to our strategic decision to sell our clinically-oriented healthcare properties as part of our healthcare portfolio simplification strategy. The timing and amount of impairment fluctuates from period to period depending on the specific facts and circumstances.

Other income (expenses)


	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						Increase/(Decrease)

Other income (expenses)		1,502			(227	)		1,729		> 100.0			%

Interest expense

The decrease in interest expense reflects a decrease in our weighted average cost of borrowings, relating to our variable-rate USD Revolving Credit Facility borrowings. At September 30, 2024, the overnight SOFR rate was 4.96% compared with the one-month SOFR rate of 5.32% at September 30, 2023. Additionally, we had a lower average outstanding balance of our variable rate debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine month ended September 30, 2023. The decreased total outstanding borrowings is primarily due to the use of proceeds from dispositions to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility.

Gain on sale of real estate

Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the real estate market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a gain of $65.0 million on the sale of 46 properties, compared to a gain of $48.0 million on the sale of nine properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Other income (expenses)

The increase in other income (expenses) during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $1.5 million foreign exchange gain recognized on the quarterly remeasurement of our $100 million Canadian Dollars (“CAD”) Revolving Credit Facility borrowings, compared to a $0.2 million unrealized foreign exchange loss recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Net income and Net earnings per diluted share


	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				Increase/(Decrease)
(in thousands, except per share data)	2024		2023		$			%

Net earnings per diluted share		0.72		0.80		(0.08	)		(9.8	)	%

The decrease in net income is primarily due to an increase in the provision for impairment of investment in rental properties of $29.8, a decrease in lease revenues, net of $18.2 million, and an increase in property and operating expenses of $1.4 million. These are offset by an increase in the gain on sale of real estate of $16.9 million, an increase in interest expense of $6.6 million, a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $6.2 million, a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $2.0 million, and an increase in other income (expenses) of $1.7 million.

Liquidity and Cap ital Resources

General

We acquire real estate using a combination of debt and equity capital and with cash from operations that is not otherwise distributed to our stockholders, and proceeds from dispositions of real estate properties. Our focus is on maximizing the risk-adjusted return to our stockholders through an appropriate balance of debt and equity in our capital structure. We are committed to maintaining an investment grade balance sheet through active management of our leverage profile and overall liquidity position. We believe our leverage strategy has allowed us to take advantage of the lower cost of debt while simultaneously strengthening our balance sheet, as evidenced by our current investment grade credit ratings of ‘BBB’ from S&P and ‘Baa2’ from Moody’s. We seek to maintain on a sustained basis a Leverage Ratio that is generally less than 6.0x. As of September 30, 2024, we had total debt outstanding of $2.0 billion, Net Debt of $1.9 billion, a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 5.0x, and a Pro Forma Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 4.9x.

Net Debt and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are non-GAAP financial measures, and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated based upon EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre, each of which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Non-GAAP Measures below for further details concerning our calculation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measure.

Liquidity/REIT Requirements

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including our ongoing commitments to repay debt, fund our operations, acquire properties, make distributions to our stockholders, and other general business needs. As a REIT, we are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, on an annual basis. As a result, it is unlikely that we will be able to retain substantial cash balances to meet our long-term liquidity needs, including repayment of debt and the acquisition of additional properties, from our annual taxable income. Instead, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs primarily by relying upon external sources of capital and proceeds from selective property dispositions.

Short-term Liquidity Requirements

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for our operating expenses, including our general and administrative expenses as well as interest payments on our outstanding debt, to pay distributions, to fund our acquisitions that are under control or expected to close within a short time period, and to pay for commitments to fund development opportunities, tenant improvements, revenue generating capital expenditures, and transitional capital investments. Under leases where we are required to bear the cost of structural repairs and replacements, we do not currently anticipate making significant capital expenditures or incurring other significant property costs, including as a result of inflationary pressures in the current economic environment, because of the strong occupancy levels across our portfolio and the net lease nature of our leases. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily from cash and cash equivalents balances and net cash provided by operating activities, supplemented by borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and capital recycled through selective property dispositions. We use cash on hand and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility to initially fund investments, which are subsequently repaid or replaced with proceeds from our equity and debt capital markets activities as well as proceeds from dispositions.

As detailed in the contractual obligations table below, we have approximately $175.2 million of expected obligations due throughout the remainder of 2024, primarily consisting of $99.1 million of commitments to fund investments, $57.2 million of dividends declared, $18.3 million of projected interest expense, and $0.6 million of mortgage amortization. We expect our cash provided by operating activities, as discussed below, will be sufficient to pay for our current obligations including interest and mortgage amortization. We expect to pay for commitments to fund investments and our dividends declared using our proceeds from dispositions and Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2024, we have $874.5 million of available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Long-term Liquidity Requirements

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to repay debt and invest in additional revenue generating properties. We expect to source debt capital from unsecured term loans from commercial banks, revolving credit facilities, private placement senior unsecured notes, and public bond offerings.

The source and mix of our debt capital in the future will be impacted by market conditions as well as our continued focus on lengthening our debt maturity profile to better align with our portfolio’s long-term leases, staggering debt maturities to reduce the risk that a significant amount of debt will mature in any single year in the future, and managing our exposure to interest rate risk. We have no material debt maturities until 2026, as detailed in the table below.

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements primarily from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, future debt and equity financings, and proceeds from limited sales of our properties. Our ability to access these capital sources may be impacted by unfavorable market conditions, particularly in the debt and equity capital markets, that are outside of our control. In addition, our success will depend on our operating performance, our borrowing restrictions, our degree of leverage, and other factors. Our acquisition growth strategy significantly depends on our ability to obtain acquisition financing on favorable terms. We seek to reduce the risk that long-term debt capital may be unavailable to us by strengthening our balance sheet by investing in real estate with creditworthy tenants and lease guarantors, and by maintaining an appropriate mix of debt and equity capitalization. We also, from time to time, obtain or assume non-recourse mortgage financing from banks and insurance companies secured by mortgages on the corresponding specific property subject to limitations imposed by our Revolving Credit Facility covenants and our investment grade credit rating.

Equity Capital Resources

Our equity capital is primarily provided through our at-the-market common equity offering program (“ATM Program”), as well as follow-on equity offerings. During May 2024, we replaced our prior ATM Program with a new ATM Program with the same aggregate gross sales price of up to $400.0 million. Under the terms of our ATM Program we may, from time to time, publicly offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $400.0 million. The ATM Program provides for forward sale agreements, which enable us to set the price of shares upon pricing the offering, while delaying the issuance of shares and the receipt of the net proceeds. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in connection with forward sales agreements provided for under the ATM Program, we sold 2,187,700 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $18.29 per share, subject to certain adjustments. We expect to settle the outstanding shares of these forward sales agreements before their maturities in August and September 2025. Our estimated net proceeds of these forward sale agreements is approximately $39.0 million as if they have been physically settled for cash as of September 30, 2024 . We have not settled any part of these forward sales agreements as of September 30, 2024. After considering the shares sold subject to forward sale agreements, we have $360.0 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program as of September 30, 2024.

Our public offerings have been used to repay debt, fund acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes.

Debt Covenants

We are subject to various covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to our debt facilities, which are summarized below. As of September 30, 2024, we believe we were in compliance with all of our covenants on all outstanding borrowings. In the event of default, either through default on payments or breach of covenants, we may be restricted from paying dividends to our stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain our REIT qualification. For each of the previous three years, we paid dividends out of our cash flows from operations in excess of the distribution amounts required to maintain our REIT qualification.

Contractual Obligations

The following table provides information with respect to our contractual commitments and obligations as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands). Refer to the discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section above for further discussion over our short and long-term obligations.

(a)

Our Revolving Credit Facility contains two six-month extension options subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of the revolving commitments.

(b)

Interest expense is projected based on the outstanding borrowings and interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2024. This amount includes the impact of interest rate swap agreements.

(c)

Amounts include dividends declared as of September 30, 2024 of $0.29 per common share and OP Unit. Future undeclared dividends have been excluded.

(d)

Amounts include acquisitions under control, defined as under contract or executed letter of intent, and commitments to fund revenue generating capital expenditures, and both current developments and under control development opportunities.

At September 30, 2024 investment in rental property of $118.4 million was pledged as collateral against our mortgages.

In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties. These commitments are generally subject to our customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before we are obligated to purchase the properties.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on the floating-rate borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities. Borrowings pursuant to our unsecured credit facilities bear interest at floating rates based on SOFR or CORRA plus an applicable margin. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates may increase or decrease our interest expense, which will in turn, increase or decrease our net income and cash flow.

We attempt to manage the interest rate risk on variable rate borrowings by entering into interest rate swaps. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into nine forward-starting interest rate swaps for a total notional amount of $460.0 million. These forward-starting swap arrangements are effective during various periods between March and December 2025 and mature in 2030. As of September 30, 2024, we had 32 effective and nine forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.43 billion. Under the effective swap agreements, we receive monthly payments from the counterparties equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. In turn, we pay the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed interest rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that we pay a fixed interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings. The interest rate swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and are reported at fair value. We assess, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of our qualifying cash flow hedges. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

In addition, we own investments in Canada, and as a result are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in the Canadian dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We funded a significant portion of our Canadian investments through Canadian dollar borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, which is intended to act as a natural hedge against our Canadian dollar investments. The Canadian dollar Revolving Credit Facility borrowings are remeasured each reporting period, with the unrealized foreign currency gains and losses flowing through earnings. These unrealized foreign currency gains and losses do not impact our cash flows from operations until settled, and are expected to directly offset the changes in the value of our net investments as a result of changes in the Canadian dollar. Our Canadian investments are recorded at their historical exchange rates, and therefore are not impacted by changes in the value of the Canadian dollar.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $11.2 million and $50.5 million at September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The table below shows information concerning cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:


	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
(In thousands)	2024			2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	212,342		$	210,492
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(87,041	)		73,874
Net cash used in financing activities		(134,715	)		(293,909	)
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(9,414	)	$	(9,543	)

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to a decrease in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The decrease in cash provided by investing activities was mainly due to increased investment volume, partially offset by an increase in disposition volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The decrease in net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, mainly reflects a decrease in net repayments on the Revolving Credit Facility and increased distributions paid to shareholders.

Non-GAAP M easures

FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO

We compute Funds From Operations (“FFO”) in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit, the worldwide representative voice for REITs and publicly traded real estate companies with an interest in the U.S. real estate and capital markets. Nareit defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains (losses) from sales of certain depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, and impairment charges related to certain previously depreciated real estate assets. FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers, primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains (losses) on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions.

We compute Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) by adjusting FFO, as defined by Nareit, to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that we believe are infrequently recurring, unusual in nature, or not related to its core real estate operations, including write-offs or recoveries of accrued rental income, lease termination fees and other non-core income from real estate transactions, cost of debt extinguishment, unrealized and realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, severance and employee transition costs, and other extraordinary items. Exclusion of these items from similar FFO-type metrics is common within the equity REIT industry, and management believes that presentation of Core FFO provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of our operating performance across multiple periods and in comparison to the operating performance of our peers, because it removes the effect of unusual items that are not expected to impact our operating performance on an ongoing basis.

We compute Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), by adjusting Core FFO for certain revenues and expenses that are non-cash or unique in nature, including straight-line rents, amortization of lease intangibles, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of net mortgage premiums, non-capitalized transaction costs such as acquisition costs related to deals that failed to transact, (gain) loss on interest rate swaps and other non-cash interest expense, deferred taxes, stock-based compensation, and other specified non-cash items. We believe that excluding such items assists management and investors in distinguishing whether changes in our operations are due to growth or decline of operations at our properties or from other factors. We use AFFO as a measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals, and is a factor in determining management compensation. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by non-cash revenues or expenses.

Specific to our adjustment for straight-line rents, our leases include cash rents that increase over the term of the lease to compensate us for anticipated increases in market rental rates over time. Our leases do not include significant front-loading or back-loading of payments, or significant rent-free periods. Therefore, we find it useful to evaluate rent on a contractual basis as it allows for comparison of existing rental rates to market rental rates.

FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs, and comparisons of our FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO with the same or similar measures disclosed by other REITs may not be meaningful.

Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments to FFO that we use to calculate Core FFO and AFFO. In the future, the SEC, Nareit or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of Core FFO and AFFO accordingly.

The following table reconciles net income (which is the most comparable GAAP measure) to FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO:

(b)

Amount includes $0.9 million and $(0.7) million of unrealized and realized foreign exchange loss (gain) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, respectively, and $(1.5) million and $0.3 million of unrealized and realized foreign exchange (gain) loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily associated with our Canadian dollar denominated revolving borrowings.

(c)

Amount includes $1.5 million of accelerated amortization of lease intangibles for an early lease termination of a property during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre

We compute EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in our industry. We believe that this ratio provides investors and analysts with a measure of our performance that includes our operating results unaffected by the differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and useful life of related assets compared to other companies in our industry. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with the definition adopted by Nareit, as EBITDA excluding gains (losses) from the sales of depreciable property and provisions for impairment on investment in real estate. We believe EBITDA and EBITDAre are useful to investors and analysts because they provide important supplemental information about our operating performance exclusive of certain non-cash and other costs. EBITDA and EBITDAre are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and our EBITDA and EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our EBITDA and EBITDAre as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.

We are focused on a disciplined and targeted investment strategy, together with active asset management that includes selective sales of properties. We manage our leverage profile using a ratio of Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, and Pro Forma Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, each discussed further below, which we believe is a useful measure of our ability to repay debt and a relative measure of leverage, and is used in communications with our lenders and rating agencies regarding our credit rating. As we fund new investments using our unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, our leverage profile and Net Debt will be immediately impacted by current quarter investments. However, the full benefit of EBITDAre from new investments will not be received in the same quarter in which the properties are acquired. Additionally, EBITDAre for the quarter includes amounts generated by properties that have been sold during the quarter. Accordingly, the variability in EBITDAre caused by the timing of our investments and dispositions can temporarily distort our leverage ratios. We adjust EBITDAre (“Adjusted EBITDAre”) for the most recently completed quarter (i) to recalculate as if all investments and dispositions had occurred at the beginning of the quarter, (ii) to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that are either non-cash, such as cost of debt extinguishments, realized or unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, or gains on insurance recoveries, or that we believe are one time, or unusual in nature because they relate to unique circumstances or transactions that had not previously occurred and which we do not anticipate occurring in the future, and (iii) to eliminate the impact of lease termination fees and other items that are not a result of normal operations. While investments in property developments have an immediate impact to Net Debt, we do not make an adjustment to EBITDAre until the quarter in which the lease commences. We define our Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre as Adjusted EBITDAre adjusted to show the impact of estimated contractual revenues based on in-process development spend to-date. Our Pro Forma Net Debt is defined as Net Debt adjusted for estimated net proceeds from forward sale agreements that have not settled as if they have been physically settled for cash as of the period presented. We then annualize quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre by multiplying them by four (“Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre” and “Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre”). You should not unduly rely on this measure as it is based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual reported EBITDAre for future periods may be significantly different from our Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are not measurements of performance under GAAP, and our Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table reconciles net income (which is the most comparable GAAP measure) to EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre. Information is also presented with respect to Annualized EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre:

Net Debt, Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre

We define Net Debt as gross debt (total reported debt plus debt issuance costs) less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is useful to investors and analysts because these ratios provide information about gross debt less cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay debt, compared to our performance as measured using EBITDAre, and is used in communications with lenders and rating agencies regarding our credit rating. The following table reconciles total debt (which is the most comparable GAAP measure) to Net Debt, and presents the ratio of Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, respectively:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses as well as other disclosures in the financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, which in turn could have a material impact on our financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies and procedures are included in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Impact of Recent Accou nting Pronouncements

For information on the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our business, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitat ive Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks, one of the most predominant of which is a change in interest rates. Increases in interest rates can result in increased interest expense under our Revolving Credit Facility and other variable-rate debt. Increases in interest rates can also result in increased interest expense when our fixed rate debt and interest rate swaps mature. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by entering into long-term fixed rate debt, entering into interest rate swaps to convert certain variable-rate debt to a fixed rate, and staggering our debt maturities. We have designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and they are reported at fair value. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Further information concerning our interest rate swaps can be found in Note 9 in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our fixed-rate debt includes our senior unsecured notes, mortgages, and variable-rate debt converted to a fixed rate with the use of interest rate swaps. Our fixed-rate debt had a carrying value and fair value of approximately $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2024. Changes in market interest rates impact the fair value of our fixed-rate debt and interest rate swaps, but they have no impact on interest incurred or on cash flows. For instance, if interest rates were to increase and the fixed-rate debt balance were to remain constant, we would expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, similar to how the price of a bond decreases as interest rates rise. A 1% increase in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt of approximately $63.8 million as of September 30, 2024.

Borrowings pursuant to our Revolving Credit Facility and other variable-rate debt bear interest at rates based on the applicable reference rate plus an applicable margin, and totaled $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2024. Taking into account the effect of our interest rate swaps, a 1% increase or decrease in interest rates would have a corresponding $0.5 million increase or decrease in interest expense annually.

With the exception of our interest rate swap transactions, we have not engaged in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We own investments in Canada, and as a result are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in the Canadian dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We funded a significant portion of our Canadian investments through Canadian dollar borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, which is intended to act as a natural hedge against our Canadian dollar investments. The Canadian dollar Revolving Credit Facility borrowings are remeasured each reporting period, with the unrealized foreign currency gains and losses flowing through earnings. A 10% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and USD would have a corresponding $7.4 million increase or decrease in unrealized foreign currency gain or loss. These unrealized foreign currency gains and losses do not impact our cash flows from operations until settled, and are expected to directly offset the changes in the value of our net investments as a result of changes in the Canadian dollar. Our Canadian investments are recorded at their historical exchange rates, and therefore are not impacted by changes in the value of the Canadian dollar.

Item 4. Control s and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
